A Logan Memorial.
The Letters Of Sympathy to DO Col.
lected in a Volume.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-Acting on
the advice of her family and nearest
friends, Mrs. Logan has decided to per-
NIT the letters and messages of condo
lence sent her upon the death of her
husband to ue collected into memorial
volume. These letters are some hun
dreds in number. They come from
church societies and ministers. from
banking associations and bankers,
Grand Army Posts and old soldiers,
from law associations, law firms and
lawyers. Statesmen, generals and di-
plomats, dropping the forRlalities of
their customary utterance, speak in
the same sentence of their own and
the country's loss, and longtime ac-
guain.anceS describe last visits Or ever
aforementioned occurrences in which
the dead bore part. Many are upon
dainty sheets bearing the monograms
in gilt and color OF cultured writer's,
and more are the homelier illusions of
humber friends, who filed 50 large
space in the dead generals heart.
Among the letters not yet published
is that from Mrs. Cleyeland, who wrote !:
I'VE are greatly shocked to hear Of the
terrible grief which has come to you
SO suddenly. Words are but poor COM
forters in trouble like this, but we
wish you to know that our hearts are
filled with the deepest sympathy for
you. My husband, who is i'll III bed,
joins me most earnestly in my message
of coincidence, and begs me to say that
added to his sympathy for you in your
great affiiction, is his own grief at
the loss Of an hOnored and esteemed
friend =,

Swindling the Soldiers.
The Pension Sharks at Work on q
New Plan.

WASHINGTON, Jan. "A number or
Representatives, since the meeting of
Congress, have receivedI letters from
their constituents, calling attention to
certain Washington so.called pension
attorneys, who have been sending out
blank forms to soldiers announcing that
for the sum of S25 they will have Il bill
introduced giving them a pension at
the highest rate of their claimed diSa-
bility. 1t is the impression Of Repre-
SentativeS that these attorneys have
had access in some way 20 the list Of
rejected cases in the Pension Office, as
the circulars are sent only to that class
of claimants. The attention of Gener-
al Black has been called to the MATTER
in a quiet way, III order to enable him
to take steps to ferret out the persons
in the office who may have been guilty
of such breach of Official confidence.
The members of Congress are indig-
nant, rs the circulars of these raScally
attorneys lead to the Inference that it
is necessary to pay fee to them for in.
Producing bill. Any soldier having a
claim to pension can have his bill in
troduced by his representative without
charge. Therefore any one responding
to these circulars may consider himself
as another victim 10 the ingenuity of
fraud practiced by sharperS upon tie
unsuspecting soldiers of the late war.

GOVERNOR Pattison's message to
the legislature is document full of in
terest to those concerned about vital
questions of the state government. 1t
smacks very much of reform and the
only thing to be regretted is that the
reform measures recommended in his
able, straightforward message will
hardly receive the attention which
they deserve under the changed and
highly republican administration. He
discusses the financial condition of the
state; the reforms in the policy con-
trolling the sinking funds the proper
enforcement of the tax laws; the irreg-
ularities in the assessment of taxes !;
the need of revision of the license
system. He clearly points out the
neglect of former legislatures to fairly
apportion the state and urges the
manifest duty to do so upon the pres
ent Legislature. The whole paper is
composed in the Governors fearless
and decisive manner. .t

SENATOR LoGAN's death which oc-
Cured last week and fuller account
of which may be found on our first
page cast deep gloom over political
and military circles and the funeral
ceremonies on Friday, December 3lst
were attended by q large number of
statesmen, military organizations and
veterans of the late war. Washing

vices were very impressive. The re-
mains were inferred in Rock Greek

but in sympathy for the lonely wo-
man. Senator Logan died poor
man, but the services which the de-
ceased statesman and soldier rendered

The OLD YEAR has gone and with it
many of this country's illustrious men,
such as. Seymour, Tilden, Hancock,
Arthur, Adams, Davis, Kelly and Lo-
gan. Many changes have been
wrought in national affairs, in state
governments, in business and in our
homes and families. The new year
has come freighted with new hopes
and aspirations, with prospects of in
creased trade and larger enterprises,
and many who are spared to live
through 1881 enter the battles of this
world with renewed energy and cour-
age, while others who are less san
guine and confident tremble at thepo
sible embarrassments and troubles
which the New Year may have in
store for them. We trust the class
first mentioned is by far in the major
ity. Let US all look at the bright side
of the future and not foster unneces-
sary doubts and fears about events to
come. Begin the year 1887 with the
firm determination to do your best in
whatever channel of life you may find
yourself and success is half assured,
